I would be interested in knowing whether zero copy, asynchronous sockets 
made it into the code and, much like the SDP performance tests last year, a 
set of netperf figures and a comparison of cpu utilisation with bandwidth 
would be nice to whet my appetite.

I guess the main issue with location is in regard to what constitutes the 
kernel submission. AFAIK its still uncertain as to the legal position of 
using SDP code, is that right? or did it get resolved to everyone's 
satisfaction (esp greg kh :) )

Great work everybody
